Sports Medicine

When looking at laser therapy applications, the majority of focus is on pain/inflammation reduction related to injury and disease. More recently, however, an increasing amount of attention is being given to the therapeutic benefits of delivering laser therapy prior to activity, specifically with regard to athletic performance, injury prevention, and improved recovery.

In this webinar, Mark Callanen, PT, DPT, OCS will discuss these lesser-known laser therapy applications. Featuring a review of recent studies, he will reveal research findings demonstrating the ergogenic capabilities of this modality. He will also highlight the current trend within sports medicine of using laser therapy to help prevent injury and facilitate faster recovery.

Key Talking Points:

• Study review looking at effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on athletic performance and recovery
• Discussion of impact on rotator cuff performance, quadriceps performance, and DOMS
• Highlight novel ways to incorporate the anti-inflammatory/analgesic benefits of laser with prehab

As therapeutic technologies continue to advance, athletic trainers are spending more time learning how to leverage modalities to improve treatment outcomes. In this evolving rehabilitative landscape, however, it can be challenging to discern which of these technologies are worth investing in.

In this webinar, learn which modalities are currently the most popular in athletic training rooms and why. Discover why laser therapy, in particular, has been embraced by the over 150 professional and collegiate teams worldwide as a go-to technology for analgesia, inflammation reduction, and accelerated recovery.

Key talking points will include:

• The role of modalities in athletic training
• A look at emerging modalities
• Benefits and uses of laser therapy for the athletic trainer
• Combining modalities to create therapeutic synergy

Modalities have long been debated in the rehabilitation clinic regarding efficacy and appropriate use in treatment plans. Taking a deep dive into the evidence, Phil Page, PhD, PT, ATC, CSCS, recently wrote a published article for IJSPT regarding the use of modalities, professional bias and blindspots, and clinical practice guidelines.

During this webinar, special guest Phil Page will unpack his article while bringing over 25 years of experience using modalities in rehabilitation and sports medicine. Page will go on to explain why new research suggests that modalities are beneficial for short-term non-pharmacological pain relief as an adjunct to active treatment.

Modalities Discussed:

• Laser Therapy
• Ultrasound
• Cryotherapy

Phil Page is a prolific clinical writer having penned 45 articles and 23 peer-reviewed papers as well as contributing to nine books.
